NetworkManager Gets A New Text Interface

Phoronix: NetworkManager Gets A New Text Interface

While NetworkManager already has great integration with the GNOME and KDE desktops and there are command-line interfaces to this open-source network management program, there's now a new curses-based interface...

Man, finally. Setting up systems without a classical DE and NetworkManager (my XBMC HTPC is an example) has always been a PITA, and the available command line tools didn't always work perfectly.

Oddly enough, I noticed that xbmc has it's own network manager interface.

As a side note... sure add a command line interface, but don't make it so that you can easily create a bridge for virtualization! That's one thing that still (at least the last time I needed to do it) was a royal pain!

Really? I actually had a few issues with the Fedora 19 and 20's betas where Plasma-nm nor the traditional KDE applet wouldn't work properly but nmcli worked flawlessly. It takes a little while to get nmcli's syntax right but once you do its actually pretty literal and understandable.
